Hot-Reload Resource Packs
Hot-Reload Resource Packs reloads resource pack changes made in the resourcepacks folder, so developers can see edits without pressing F3+T.
What it does
Resource pack developers who edit files in the resourcepacks folder can view each change in the game right away, without leaving their editor or using the reload shortcut. The mod is designed as a simple, zero-configuration tool, so it needs no setup. Only the client needs it, so it runs in single-player and on a client joining a server, while servers do not need it. On NeoForge, the mod requires Sinytra Connector. Files cover 1.18 – 26.1.2, with the latest Fabric build 1.0.1 for 26.1.2 and the latest NeoForge build 1.0.1-neoforge for 26.1.2, released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is open source.
